According to the foreign media report, a new kind of ransomware appeared last month, and it is named CryptMix by security researchers from Heimdal Security. Criminals who created this ransomware stated they are a Charity Team and tried to persuade victims to pay the ransom. They promised that a portion of the money would be donated to children’s charity organization.

The Basic Information of CryptMix

Through careful observation, Nyxbone, a security researcher from Columbia, found that CryptMix combined features of other ransomware, such as CryptoWall 3.0 and CryptoWall 4.0, etc. So, it was given the name CryptMix.

This ransomware distributed through spam emails, which contained infected websites links. Cyber criminals took advantage of loophole kits to install CryptMix on users’ browser. When the computer was infected, this ransomware automatically started its encrypt process. CryptMix could search and then encrypt files. According to statistics, it could encrypt 862 kinds of different files, and the file extension they added at the end of each coded file was .code.

Once infected, a window popped up to tell victims that their files were locked by RSA-2048 algorithm. Besides, they provided victims with the ID and asked victims to send emails to xoomx[@]dr.com or xoomx[@]usa.com, begging criminals to recover the coded files.

Of course, the so called Charity Team requested victims to 5 bitcoin to rescue their files. More egregiously, criminals threatened that ransom money would be twice if victims didn’t pay within a day. What’s fun is that, the criminals implied they could provide a three-year free technique support.

Fine post. I learn something more difficult on different blogs regular.
It will constantly be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little
something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you do’t mind.
Natually I’ll give you a link on your web site.
Thanks for sharing.
